Interop house Mainsoft announced Mainsoft for Java EE Version 2.2, an interoperability toolkit that translates .NET code into Java applications. It enables a development team to write applications using C# and VB.NET and translate these to run on a Java EE server. ASP.NET controls can convert to run on Java Server Pages. The toolkit is accessed as a plug-in to Visual Studio, which can compile code directly to Java byte code.

“With the 2.2 release, developers can use the Visual Studio development environment and ASP.NET AJAX to develop enterprise applications with a sophisticated user interface, and deploy their applications on Windows servers, Java EE servers, or both,” said Yaacov Cohen, Mainsoft CEO.

Mainsoft has enabled Linux support through its five-year collaboration with the Novell/Mono project, but this new toolkit allows .NET translation to Java independently of Mono. The company continues to work with Mono technology as well, however.

“We see a lot of enterprise shops that are interested in supporting Java for performance, scalability, and security,” said Cohen. “We are enabling these enterprises to decouple development decisions from deployment and product needs.”
